Using Taekwondo as a tool to help special needs students
with emphasis on Dyspraxia
My hypotheses is “Does the moral guidance which is the backbone of
Taekwon do fill the space left as a result of the decline in participation in Christian religions?”
La idea de este trabajo es reflexionar y poder pensar acerca ciertos procesos psíquicos individuales y grupales que se producen durante la transmisión de nuestro arte. No sólo lo veremos desde el punto de vista de la transmisión de nuestro arte marcial en base a sus principios y filosofía, de la metodología de enseñanza adecuada, sino también desde los efectos que produce la práctica del Taekwon-Do en cuanto a elevar la autoestima y qué relación tiene esto último con el manejo y control de la agresividad.
The idea of this work is to reflect and be able to think about certain individual and group psychic processes that occur during the transmission of our art. We will not only look at it from the point of view of transmitting our martial art based on its principles and philosophy, from the appropriate teaching methodology, but also from the effects that the practice of Taekwon-Do produces in terms of boosting self-esteem and the relationship this has with the management and control of aggressiveness.
As GrandMaster Pablo Traijtenberg quoted during the ITF Convention 2017 in Benidorm (Spain), there are many hip injuries amongst Taekwon-Do practitioners all over the world, so I decided to write a thesis about this phenomenon and the possible solutions after research.
This resource comprise a thesis required for promotion to 4th Dan. The instructions for writing an essay or thesis for black belt promotion include that the writing should be of some use and interest to other Taekwon-Do practioners. Korean terminology is therefore the focus of this thesis. It is an area that needs strengthening in our Taeskwon-Do community.
Through this study of the Yin & Yang principles it had stirred my curiosity into the why and how we can use these principles for our own inner spiritual, mental and physical development, not only for use in the Martial Arts but for all of what life and nature can throw at us. We as humans need to ‘Adapt’.
